Vino Underground

Vino Underground is a cornerstone of Tbilisi’s natural wine movement, located just steps from Freedom Square in the historic Sololaki district. Opened in 2012, it was the first bar in Georgia to focus exclusively on natural wines, and it remains a beloved gathering place for locals and travelers alike. The bar is owned and operated by a collective of Georgia’s leading artisan winemakers, many of whom can be found mingling with guests or leading tastings. The vaulted brick cellar creates a rustic, intimate setting where the focus is on quality and authenticity. Vino Underground offers an exceptional selection of qvevri wines—traditional Georgian wines fermented in clay vessels—sourced from small family-run vineyards across the country. The curated list includes both well-known producers and rare micro-cuvées that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere. Guests can enjoy wine by the glass, bottle, or as part of a tasting flight. The bar also serves simple, high-quality snacks like cheese and cured meats that pair perfectly with the wines. The atmosphere ranges from relaxed and quiet in the afternoons to lively and social in the evenings, often spilling out onto the street during warm summer nights. Whether you're a seasoned oenophile or a curious newcomer, Vino Underground offers a unique opportunity to explore Georgia’s rich winemaking heritage in a welcoming and unpretentious environment.
